more words of wisdom

Recently I had the opportunity to see the lovely Don Tolman speak in Melbourne. He is a fascinating and funny man and has a lot to say in regard to our current “health care” industry. He is out spoken and pulls no punches… I think I am seriously in ‘like’ with him. Plus he is a cowboy and who doesn’t like a cowboy

His brand of wisdom harks back to an earlier age before we needed to control everything with drugs… when we understood that rubbish in meant rubbish out and we were responsible for our own health. He relates the story of his quest for “pulse” which took 17 years and had him visiting the worlds museums in search of this ancient wisdom in the scrolls of antiquity.

Don is a big advocate of fasting and once fasted for 40 days on water and then ran a marathon- honestly it puts us all to shame thinking we are going to die if we dont get a chocolate bar at 3pm or we skipped lunch… quick call the paramedics. Don has some gentle alternatives to fasting such as mono eating (apples for days) or juice fasting that might suit the beginner. I personally am going to add one days fasting a month to my diet.

He runs bootcamps for people to get back in touch with the simple truths that they just dont seem to be able to connect with in this high tech age- EAT MORE VEGES! No I am waiting for them to bring them out in pill form.

Sometimes we need to hear it from the right source to really get it in our neurology… this is it people… your life… your body and apparently it is YOU that is driving the bus… embrace it and it will give you power, deny it and you will always be looking for something to save you.

Don’s schedule can be found here and I heartily recommend you get off your butt and see him.

Oh and in case you are following my progress I can now swim half a km pretty easily and am working up to 3km, the biking totally rocks and the running has improved no end.

Life is sweet baby!
